I've had that lately, I only click cancel and carry on as normal so far. Feels like a fishing scam, but can't trace where from. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Hall" <mehg...@icloud.com> To: "'Eleanor Roberts' via VIPhone" <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, October 24, 2015 1:18 PM Subject: Apple ID verification prompt asking for 2FA recovery key?
Hi all, A couple days ago, my iPhone (running 9.1) asked for my Apple ID password. I thought nothing of it, until it then wanted my two factor authentication recovery key. My understanding is that this key is for recovery only, if I forget my password or am otherwise locked out of my account. My password was right, though. I got nervous about this, because it shouldn't prompt for that key, at least I don't think it should. Has anyone seen this, and/or does anyone know what might be going on? The prompt comes up once a day, but I haven't completed it yet. Things seem to be working just fine without doing so. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
